Frequently Asked Questions
- Frequency: Car oil should typically be changed every 5,000 to 7,500 miles for modern cars with synthetic oil, but this can vary based on the car’s make and model, oil type, and driving conditions. Some vehicles have oil life indicators that notify you when it’s time for an oil change.
- Driving Conditions: If you frequently drive in stop-and-go traffic, tow heavy loads, or drive in extreme weather conditions, you might need to change the oil more often.
- Steps:
- Use a tire pressure gauge, which can be digital or analog.
- Locate your tire’s recommended pressure level (usually found on a sticker inside the driver’s door or in the owner’s manual).
- Remove the cap from the tire valve stem.
- Press the gauge onto the valve stem to get a reading.
- Compare the reading to the recommended pressure, and add or release air as needed.
- When to Check: Check your tire pressure at least once a month or before long trips. Make sure the tires are cold (not driven on for a few hours) for an accurate reading.
- Frequency: Tires should generally be rotated every 5,000 to 7,500 miles, often at the same time as an oil change. Refer to your vehicle’s manual for the recommended interval.
- Importance: Rotating tires promotes even tread wear, which extends tire life and improves handling.
- Definition: Auto detailing is a thorough cleaning, restoration, and finishing of a vehicle, both inside and out, to produce a show-quality cleanliness and polish. It often includes cleaning, polishing, and waxing the car’s exterior, as well as deep cleaning the interior.
- Benefits: Auto detailing can help maintain your car’s appearance, improve its resale value, and protect its exterior and interior materials from damage.
Yes, it’s urgent: An oil leak can lead to significant engine damage if not addressed quickly. Low oil levels can cause the engine to overheat or parts to wear prematurely, leading to expensive repairs. Always check for leaks and address them as soon as possible.
- Causes:
- Warped Brake Rotors: When brake rotors become uneven or warped due to heat, friction, or wear, you may feel a pulsating sensation in the brake pedal.
- Worn Brake Pads: If brake pads are worn unevenly, they may also cause pulsation.
- Incorrect Rotor Installation: Improperly installed rotors can lead to brake pulsation as well.
- Solution: Rotors may need to be resurfaced or replaced, and brake pads should be checked.
Importance:
- Even Wear: Regular tire rotation ensures that all tires wear evenly, improving the tire’s lifespan.
- Better Handling: Even tire wear maintains consistent traction and handling, especially important in wet or slippery conditions.
- Cost Efficiency: Rotating tires helps you avoid premature tire replacement, saving money in the long run.
- Improved Fuel Efficiency: Evenly worn tires reduce the rolling resistance, leading to better fuel efficiency.
